lung plague in cattle is reported to the State, or an Assistant State
Veterinarian, he shall at once notify the Secretary of this Board of

ly report his action to the Secretary of this Board.

by this Board, with a request to answer the same. Upon receipt of
answers to these questions, if he believes the animals are affected
with glanders, he shall at once visit the premises where such animals
are and thoroughly examine the same, and, if upon examination he
is satisfied that the disease is glanders, he shall quarantine the ani-
mal or animals and premises, and also quarantine all animals or prem-
ises that have been exposed to such disease, and promptly notify the
Secretary of this Board of his action. Should the answers to the
questions above referred to convince him that the disease 1s not glan-
ders, he shall at once report that conclusion to the Secretary, accom-
panying the same with all the correspondence relative to the case,
and also notify the owner or informant of his opinion.

he finds the animal or animals to be healthy, and to come from a lo-
cality wherein there does not, or has not for four months preceding,
existed any case of contagious disease among the kind of animals in
question, he shall give to the owner of such animal or animals a cer-
tificate of health, specifying the number, sex and breed of said ani-

ing such inspections are required to make a tabulated report of the
same to the Secretary of this Board.

Ti 2Nongy VAN ead

To revise the law in relation to the suppression and prevention of
the spread of contagious and infectious diseases among domestic
animals,” approved June 27, 1885, in force July 1, 1885; as amend-
ed by an Act approved and in force April 20, 1887, and an Act ap-
proved June 15, 1887, in force July 1, 1887.

“Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly, That the Governor shall, with
the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint three practical stock
breeders, not more than two of whom shall be members of the same
political party, who shall constitute a Board of Live Stock Commis-
sioners, who shall hold their office in the order in which they are
named, the first for one year, the second for two years, and the third
for three years; and their successors in office shall be appointed for
three years each. Before entering on the duties of their office they
shall take and subscribe to an oath of office for the faithful perform-
ance of their duties as such Commissioners, and shall file the same
with the Governor.

“Section 2. It shall be the duty of said Board of Commissioners
to cause to be investigated any and all cases or alleged cases coming
to their knowledge, of contagious or infectious diseases among do-
mestic animals, and to use all proper means to prevent the spread of
such diseases, and to provide for the extirpation thereof; and in the

~I

event of reasonable ground for belief that any such contagious or in-
fectious disease has broken out in this State, it shall be the duty of
the person owning or having in charge any animal or animals infect-
ed with disease, or any other person having knowledge or reason to
suspect the existence of such disease, to immediately notify said
Board of Commissioners, or some member thereof, by communication
to said Board of the existence of such disease, and thereupon it shall
be the duty of said Board, or some member thereof, or authorized
agent of the Board, immediately to cause proper examination there-
of to be made, and if said disease shall be found to be a dangerously
contagious or dangerously infectious malady, said Board or any mem-
ber thereof, or the State Veterinarian or any Assistant Veterinarian,
shall order said diseased animals, and such as have been exposed to
contagion, and the premises in which they are, to be strictly quaran-
tined for such time as the Board, or any member thereof, or such
Veterinarian may deem necessary, in charge of such person as the
Board, or any member thereof or such Veterinarian shall designate,
and they shall have power to order any premises and farms where
the disease exists, or has recently existed, as well as exposed prem-
ises and farms to be put in quarantine, so that no domestic animal
which has been, or is so diseased, or has been exposed to such conta-
gious or infectious disease, be removed from the places so quaratined
nor allow any healthy animal to be brought therein, except under
such rule or regulation as the said Board may prescribe; and said
Board shall prescribe such regulations as they may deem necessary
to prevent such disease from being communicated in any way from
the places quarantined. In all such cases of contagious and infec-
tious diseases, the said Board or, in case the number of animals shall
not exceed five, any member thereof, shall have power to order the
slaughter of all such diseased and exposed animals. The said Board
shall have power to cause to be destroyed all barns, stables, premises,
fixtures, furniture and personal property infected with any such con-
tagious or infectious disease, so far as in their judgment may be nec-
essary to prevent the spread of such disease, and where the same can-
not be properly disinfected. When the Board, upon the written re-
port of the State Veterinarian, or any of his assistants, determine
that any animal is affected with, or has been exposed to, any danger-
ously contagious or infectious disease, the Board, or any member
thereof, may agree with the owner upon the value of such animal or
property, and in ease such agreement cannot be made, said Board, or
the member acting iu behalf of the Board, may appoint three disin-
terested citizens of the State to appraise such diseased animal or ex-
posed animals or property. Such appraisers shall subscribe to an
oath in writing to fairly value such animal in accordance with the

requirements of this act; which oath, together with the valuation
fixed by said appraisers, shall be filed with the Board, and be pre-
served by them. Upon such appraisement being made, it shall be-
come the duty of the owner to immediately destroy such animal and
dispose of the same in accordance with the order of said Board, or
member thereof, and upon failure so to do, said Board, or member
thereof, shall cause such animal or animals or property to be destroy-
ed and disposed of, and thereupon the said owner shall forfeit all
right to receive the compensation allowed by said appraisers and pro-
vided for by this act. When the Board, upon the written opinion of
the State Veterinarian, determines that any barns, stables, out-build-
ings or premises are so infected that the same cannot be disinfected,
they may quarantine such barns, stables, out-buildings or premises
from use for the animals that may be infected by such use,
and such quarantine shall continue until removed by the Board,
and a violation of such quarantine shall be punished as is provided
for violations of other quarantine by this act.

“Section 3, The Governor shall appoint a competent veterinary
surgeon who shall be known as the State Veterinarian, who, together
with his assistants, shall act under the direction of said Board in car-
rying out the provisions of this act. In the event of the inability of
the said State Veterinarian to perform all the work which he may be
directed to do by said Board of Commissioners, he may, by and with
the advice and consent of said Board, appoint such other necessary
assistant veterinarians upon terms not exceeding that paid the State
Veterinarian. The State Veterinarian shail receive for his services
the sum of $8 per day for each day actually employed under the pro-
visions of this act, together with his necessary traveling expenses, to
be certified to by said Board of Commissioners.

“Section 4. Whenever said Board of Commissioners shall report
to the Governor, that such diseases have become epidemic in certain
localities in other States, or that their condition would render such
domestic animals lable to convey such diseases, he may, by proclam-
ation, schedule such localities, and prohibit the importation of any
live stock of the kind diseased into the State, except under such reg-
ulations as may be prescribed by the said Board and approved by the
Governor. Any corporation which shall knowingly transport, re-
ceive or convey such prohibited stock, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less
than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for each and every offense, and
shall become liable for any and all damage or loss that may be sus-
tained by any party or parties, by reason of such importation or trans-
portation of such prohibited stock. Such penalty shall be recovered

9

in any county in this State into, or through which such stock is
brought upon information filed in the circuit or county court of any
such county or the Superior Court of Cook County. Any person
who, knowing that any contagious or infectious disease exists among
his domestic animals, shall conceal such fact, or knowing of the exis-
tence of such disease, shall sell the animal or animals so diseased, or
any exposed animal, or knowing the same, shall remove such diseased
or infected animals from his premises to the premises of another, or
knowing of the existence of such disease, or exposure, shall drive or
lead or ship the same by any car or steamboat to any other place in
or out of this State, and any person or persons who shall bring any
such diseased, or knowingly, shall bring any such exposed animal or
animals into this State from another State; and any person or per-
sons who shall knowingly buy, receive, sell, convey or engage in the
traffic of such diseased or exposed stock, and any person who shall
violate any quarantine regulations established under the provisions
of this act, shall, for each, either, any and all acts above mentioned
in this section be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof,
or of any one of said acts, shall be fined in any sum not less than $25
nor more than $200, and imprisoned in the county jail until the fine
and costs are paid, and shall forfeit all right to the compensation for
any animal or property destroyed under the provisions of this act.
Any veterinary practitioner having information of any such conta-
gious or infectious disease in this State, and who shall fail to
promptly report such knowledge to the Board of Live Stock Commis-
sioners, shall be fined not exceeding five hundred dollars, or be im-
prisoned in the county jail not more than one year for each offense.

“Section 5. Whenever said Board shall become satisfied that any
dangerously contagious or infectious disease among domestic animals
exists throughout any municipality or geographical district within
this State, and in their judgment, it is necessary to quarantine such
municipality or geographical district in order to prevent the spread
of such disease into contiguous territory, they shall report the same
to the Governor, who may thereupon by proclamation schedule and
quarantine such district, prohibiting all domestic animals of the kind
diseased within such district from being moved from one premises
to another or over any public highway or any unfenced lot or piece
of ground, or from being brought into, or taken from such infected
district, except upon obtaining a special permit, signed by the Board
of Live Stock Commissioners, or member thereof, or agent or officer
of tre Board duly authorized by it to issue such permits; and such
proclamation shall from the time of its publication bind all persons.
After the publication of the aforesaid proclamation, it shall be the
duty of every person who owns, or is in charge of animals of the

10

kind diseased within the scheduled district to report to said Board
within one week the number and description of such animals, loca-
tion, and the name and address of the owner, and during the contin-
uance of such quarantine to report to said Board all cases of sick-
ness, deaths or births among such animals. {It shall also be the duty
of any and all persons within the, beneamiea district receiving, and
purchasing cattle for slaughter, to delay the killing of such animals
until a veterinary surgeon with authority from said Board is present
to make a post-mortem examination of the carcasses. Any violation
of the aforesaid quarantine regulations and duties shall be visited
with like penalties, which may be recovered in like manner, as is pro-
vided for the violation of other quarantine as provided in Section 4,
of this Act: Provided, that nothing contained in this section shall
be so construed as to prevent the movement of any animals of the
kind diseased through such territory under such regulations as the
Board of Live Stock Commissioners may prescribe, and the Governor
approve: And, provided, further, that all cattle within the scheduled

district slaughtered by order of the Board shall not be taken from
said district for slaughter.”

“Section 6. Nothing contained in this act,/or any section thereof,
shall be interpreted so as to prevent the removal or shipment of dis-
eased or exposed animals, under the orders of the ‘Board created by
this act, from one place to another by said Board or its agents, by
driving along the public highway or shipment on cars or steamboats,
when, in the opinion of said Board such removal is necessary for the
suppression of such contagious and infectious disease.

“Section 7. Whenever quarantine is established in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2, of this Act, valid notice of the
same may be given by leaving with the owner or occupant of any
premises in person, or delivering to any member of his fam-
ily, or any employe over the age a ten years found on the
premises so quarantined, notice thereof, written or printed, or
partly written and partly printed, and, at the same time, ex-
plaining the contents thereof. Such quarantine shall be sufficiently
proven in any court by the production of a true copy of such notice
of quarantine with a return thereon, of the service of the same in
the manner above required. Any person violating said quarantine
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished as is provided for in
Section 4, of this Act, and, on conviction, shall be liable for all dam-
age that may result to other persons in consequence of such violation:
Provided, that any one feeling himself aggrieved by such quarantine
may appeal to the full Board of Commissioners, who shall thereupon
sustain, modify or annul said quarantine as they§deem proper.

11

‘Section 8. All fines recovered under the provisions of this act
shall be paid into the county treasury of the county in which the suit
is tried, by the person collecting the same, in the manner now pro-
vided by law, to be used for county purposes; and it shall be the
duty of States Attorneys in their respective counties, to prosecute
for all violations of this act.

“Section 9. All claims against the State arising from the slaugh-
ter of animals, as herein provided for, shall be made to said Board
of Commissioners, under such rules and regulations as they may pre-

-seribe, and it shall be the duty of said Board of Commissioners to
determine the amount which shall be paid in each case on account of
animals so slaughtered, which, in cases of animals of the bovine spe-
cies, shall be based on the fair cash market value thereof for beef, or
for use for dairy purposes, not to exceed $75 per head; and, in cases
of animals of the equine species, on their fair cash market value, not
to exceed $100 per head, and report the same to the Governor; and
the Governor shall endorse thereon his order to the State Auditor,
who shall thereupon issue his warrant on the State Treasurer for the
same.

“Section 10. Said Board of Commissioners, or any member there-
of, and the State Veterinarian and his assistants, in the performance
of their duties under this act shall have power to call on sheriffs and
their deputies, constables and peace officers, mayors of cities, city
and town marshals and policemen to assist them in carrying out its
provisions, and it is hereby made the duty of all such officers to assist
in carrying out the provisions of this act when ordered so to do; and
said Commissioners and the State Veterinarian and his assistants,
shall have, while engaged in carrying out the provisions of this act,
the same powers and protection that other peace officers have, and
any such officer who fails or refuses to enforce the lawful orders and
quarantine of said Board, or any member thereof, or any veterinarian
acting under them, in the proper execution of the powers conferred
by this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and punished
as provided in Section 4, of this Act.

“Section 11. The said Board shall co-operate with any Commis-
sioner, or other officer, appointed by the United States for the sup-
pression of contagious diseases among domestic animals, so far as the
provisions of this act and the appropriations made in accordance
therewith will allow, in suppressing and preventing the spread of
contagious and infectious diseases among domestic animals in this
State.

“Section 12. It shall be the duty of said Board of Commissioners
to keep a record of:all their acts and proceedings, and report the

same to the Governor annually, or oftener, if required, for publica-
tion. The annual report shall include an itemized statement of all
sums expended by them under this act, including a statement of all
damages recommended by them to be paid for all animals slaughter Ed,
and the amounts paid therefor.

“Section 13. The members of said Board shall each receive the
sum of $5 per day for each day necessarily employed in the discharge
of their duties, their necessary traveling expenses, and other inciden-
tal expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties
